Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill
- Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them inside the Arteflame grill.
- Stack firewood over the soaked paper napkins.
- Light the paper and allow the firewood to burn for about 20 minutes, until the grill reaches cooking temperature.
Step 2: Season the Meats
- In a small bowl, mix the Hawaiian sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.
- Rub the seasoning mix evenly onto the chicken, beef, and pork.
- Let the meats sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 3: Sear the Meats
- Add a tablespoon of butter to the center grill grate.
- Place each meat cut on the center grate and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until a steakhouse-quality crust forms.
Step 4: Reverse Sear to Perfection
- Move the seared meats to the outer flat cooktop griddle.
- Let the meats cook on the griddle, flipping occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature that is 15°F below your target doneness.
Step 5: Grill Pineapple and Finish
- Place pineapple slices and green onions onto the flat cooktop griddle.
- Grill pineapple until caramelized and onions until slightly charred.
- Drizzle soy sauce over the meats for extra flavor.
- Remove everything from the grill and let meats rest for 5 minutes before serving.
